Classrooms for Malawi – UNICEF Outright Campaign 2025-26

Part of our UNICEF Outright Campaign this year is about raising awareness of international aid particularly in relation to climate change and education and today we were thrilled to have a visit from Tina and Maureen from the charity ‘Classrooms for Malawi’. We really enjoyed learning about some of their projects and we loved exploring the items they brought along which included materials, tools, artwork and toys. We learned about the gift bags that the charity give to children in Malawi which typically contain a small tennis ball, a woolly hat, and some toiletries and we watched some video clips of some of the songs and games the children enjoy.

We’re really excited to start planning a special gift that we are going to make for them to take to Malawi in June when they go to start building their next classroom.

World Childrens Day 2025

World Children’s Day 2025

‘my day…. my rights’

‘From the moment the sun rises, children wake up to a world shaped by choices they didn’t make. But every child, everywhere, also wakes with rights. Including the right to be protected, to learn, and to have their voice heard’ (UNICEF)

To celebrate World Childrens Day we explored some of our rights through stories, games, food and sensory play. We hope you enjoy our video of some of the fun we had!

Unicef World Children’s Day 2023

 

Today marks World Children’s Day on the calendar and to celebrate the rights of the child we participated in all things blue.

Lots of pupils and staff wore blue in support and all pupils used blue materials to make a giant blue collage.

Take a look at how it came together.

 

 

 

World Food Day

This week in Beatlie we recognised World Food Day by making sensory bottles with the focus ‘Water is Life, Water is Food. Leave No One Behind’

World Food Day takes place annually on 16 October and promotes awareness of hunger and action for the future of food, people, and the planet.

Take a look at how much fun we all had making the bottles and how great they all look now they are finished.

Ukraine Collection Update

THANK YOU!!!

What an amazing response to our appeal – we even had donations from members of the local community and our neighbour Letham Primary!

Yesterday I filled my car, so today I brought my big car…..and I still ran out of space and had to call on help!

We had so many donations of wipes and nappies, plus some baby powder and food, so we have donated some of these to a charity preparing baby boxes to make sure everything gets to where it is needed the most.

Yesterday…

Today…

Thank you again to everyone who donated, you are all amazing!
